With the release of Firefox 1.0, the amount of extensions on the mozilla website has really expanded. I thought I would share some of them that I have found really useful, to perhaps sway IE users, or just let you in on the convienence. :)
Chatzilla
An OK IRC client, use it to drop in on the lurkerlounge IRC channel. ;) Not as good as mIRC, of course, but it gets the job done.
ColorZilla
This thing has a handful of features, but the one I find incredible is the little eyedropper thing it puts in the bottom status bar that lets you pick up the RGB color values of anything in the browser window (this text box you're reading is 32 25 9 :ph34r: ). INCREDIBLY useful.
fireFTP
Pretty self-explanatory, an FTP client. It's not the best one out there, but it certainly is the best free one I've seen.
AutoFill
Like the IE Google Toolbar, this will autofill the majority of online forms with a single click. This extension was the one that made me switch to Firefox. :D
Bandwidth Tester
Another one that's pretty much just convienence, but it tests your downstream (only) bandwidth pretty accurately (I've noticed if you have a connection of >3 Mbps, you should use the "T1" setting, though)
IE View
Simply adds a button in the Right-click menu that opens the page you are on in IE. Good for those pages and applets that are still IE-only (cough, fileplanet, cough)
Image Zoom
Allows you to zoom in (and out) on any image on the page you're on. This was in that IE5.0 Extra Features pack, so I was happy to learn I could use it again :P
I hope this has been edumacational :shuriken: Anyone else got some good ones I passed over?
